Thailand welcomes the Meeting between President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea and Mr. Kim Jong Un, Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 27 April 2018, which is the first Inter-Korean Summit in 11 years. The historic meeting reflects the continued concerted commitment and efforts by all parties, especially the ROK and the DPRK, to work towards a peaceful resolution of the situation on the Korean Peninsula. 

Thailand hopes that the outcomes of this Summit and further efforts, particularly the planned meeting between the President of the United States and the Leader of the DPRK in the near future, will pave the way for the eventual realization of the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, thereby helping to greatly enhance peace, stability and an atmosphere of cooperation in the region, for the benefits of the Korean peoples and the region as a whole. Thailand stands ready to contribute towards these shared goals.
